The Rotary Club of Leatherhead.

I was delighted to be invited to address the Rotary Club of Leatherhead, not least because it was my fourth engagement of the day and they were providing dinner!

They meet weekly at Federation House in Leatherhead  and Arthee Gunness the President (pictured with me) and the rest of the Club made me feel most welcome.

After a delicious meal, I outlined the role of a High Sheriff past and present and my Shrieval theme for the year, being helping to prevent young people from becoming NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training). It was especially relevant being in North Leatherhead as this is an area with a high level of deprivation and I have been engaging with the local schools and community to help put in place earlier and alternative interventions that hopefully will lead to better future pathways.
